Netflix has had a hit-or-miss track record with its original live-action shows, with only a few standout titles among a sea of mediocrity. However, when it comes to their animation slate, Netflix has consistently delivered high-quality content. One of their earliest animated features, Klaus, is widely regarded as one of the greatest Christmas films of all time. With recent releases like Blue Eye Samurai, it's clear that Netflix has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the animation industry.

Blue Eye Samurai, created by Amber Noizumi and Michael Green, has quickly gained attention and acclaim.

Departing from the often lackluster Netflix original releases, this show has already been renewed for a second season due to its overwhelming success. It currently boasts a perfect rating of 100% on the Tomatometer. Even Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin couldn't help but be impressed by the show's stunning visuals. In fact, he described it as "the most gorgeous art that I have ever seen."

Blue Eye Samurai takes place in Japan during the Edo period and features a captivating story filled with violence, sensuality, and complex characters. The action sequences are breathtaking, and the show's colorful and flawed heroes and villains feel realistic and well-developed.

Martin acknowledged that the show's animation truly sets it apart, as the hand-drawn characters come to life in a way that surpasses any other artwork he's seen.

As a devoted fan of the animation medium, Martin revealed that he is also working on getting a few animated Game of Thrones spin-offs off the ground. While rumors of various spin-offs have circulated for years without much progress, Martin confirmed that three animated projects are currently in development. He expressed his desire to capture the same level of beauty and storytelling found in Blue Eye Samurai, and although he recognized the uncertainty of Hollywood, he assured fans that they would do their best to deliver captivating and visually stunning shows.

While the fate of the Game of Thrones spin-offs remains uncertain, fans can rejoice in the news of Blue Eye Samurai's second season. The show has garnered immense excitement, and viewers, including Martin himself, can't wait to immerse themselves in its captivating world once again. Blue Eye Samurai is currently available for streaming on Netflix, allowing audiences to experience its mesmerizing artistry firsthand.
